Release Notes: Ported to Cygwin. Important bugfixes. A number of new features.

RC Flyers Toolkit Box is a handy toolbox for R/C pilots. It helps you manage batteries, flights, charge cycles, and check lists. It helps you keep track of which of your batteries are charged, where and when you have been flying last, how much went in your battery compared to the last cycle, what you have to pack to take with you, and which parts you have to check before flying. For rotary wing users, there is a pinion calculator that quickly gives you an idea about the RPM to be expected.

Release Notes: This is the first stable release. Compared to the beta and RC1 versions, the following changes have been applied. The navigation bar has been moved to the top. Flights and charge cycles are now filtered by battery. A show all check box to override filters has been introduced. There are various bugfixes, and complete translations for German and English.

Release Notes: This version has several changes to bring it in line with recent JABM refactoring as well as some important bugfixes.

WDB is a weather data storage system for storage
of weather and water observations, forecasts,
analysis fields, and models. The system should be
compatible with the meteorological standards BUFR
and GRIB (version 1 and 2). In addition to generic
loading programs, WDB also features a flexible
retrieval interface for retrieving weather data in
time series or entire fields. WDB is built using
PostgreSQL extended with PostGIS.

Release Notes: This release fixes bugs in the WDB projection library and in the nearest interpolation algorithm. It adds some new ocean data CF parameters to the metadata.

Release Notes: The button options -0 to -9 are no longer supported; use the new buttons configuration file instead. The --index-{dim,name,size} options have also been removed; use format strings with the new --index-info option instead. The background setting options now accept multiple filenames, so for multimonitor setups, you can specify one file per screen. A new %S (size in kB) format specifier has been added, and in thumbnail mode, you can now run actions on the currently-selected thumbnail. feh can now be compiled with stat64=1 to support CIFS shares mounted from 64bit hosts on 32bit machines.

DynaStop is a utility to examine IPv4 based
addresses for Exim and procmail for the purpose of
filtering based upon patterns defined by the
administrator. This can be a pivotal factor in
email filtering and server load management, since
dynamic IP addresses are typically used for
dial-up, DHCP, and DSL accounts. All of which have
a designated mail exchange server through which
all outbound mail flows as defined with many, if
not most, large Internet service providers.

Gecode is a portable, accessible, and efficient
environment for developing constraint-based
systems and applications. Gecode is radically open
for programming, meaning that it can be easily
interfaced to other systems. It supports the
programming of new propagators (as implementation
of constraints), branching strategies, and search
engines. New variable domains can be programmed at
the same level of efficiency as finite domain and
integer set variables that come predefined with
Gecode.

Release Notes: This release fixes several bugs, upgrades to MiniZinc version 1.4, and features some minor improvements.

afick is another file integrity checker, designed
to be fast and fully portable between Unix and
Windows platforms. It works by first creating a
database that represents a snapshot of the most
essential parts of your computer system. You can
then run the script to discover all modifications
made since the snapshot was taken (i.e. files
added, changed, or removed). The configuration
syntax is very close to that of aide or tripwire,
and a graphical interface is provided.

Release Notes: This release fixes a lot of little problems on Windows operating systems. A delete button has been added in afick_set_planning.pl. Environment variables in the configuration file are now expanded on-the-fly at the beginning of a run. The program's documentation has been updated.

MyMediaLite is a lightweight, multi-purpose library of recommender system algorithms. It addresses the two most common scenarios in collaborative filtering: rating prediction (e.g. on a scale of 1 to 5 stars), and item prediction from implicit feedback (e.g. from clicks or purchase actions). It contains dozens of recommender engines, including state-of-the-art matrix factorization methods. It also supports real-time updates to the recommender engines, storing engines to disk and reloading them again, and several evaluation measures to compare the accuracy of different recommender system methods. Three command-line programs that offer most of the functionality contained in the library are included.

Release Notes: MyMediaLite now needs Mono 2.8 or later (2.10.x is recommended, or .NET 4.0). Multi-core support has been added for several components: item recommendation evaluation, cross-validation for rating prediction and item recommendation, and distributed SGD training for rating prediction matrix factorization. Long int user and item IDs are now supported. Different modes for selecting candidate items now also work for cross-validation. Mean reciprocal rank (MRR) has been added as a new evaluation measure. Numerous improvements have been made to the documentation, API, commandline tools, and helper scripts.
